Original subtitles

When is mommy coming home?

Well, the holidays are coming up. She will come.

Come on, drink your tea and off to bed.

My girls are brand name. You won't be disappointed.

Look. Choose.

Which one?

Give me that one.

The middle one. Yes?

Come here.

Hey, grab your friend.

I'll pay.

Hey, I'll take two.

I'm sorry. She's paid for already.

But I have more in the car. I'll show them to you. I want this one.

Get out of here. She's with me.

Why don't you scram?

Watch your mouth.

Come here

Look

me in the eyes

You have beautiful eyes.

My mom had beautiful eyes.

Did she die?

I don't know.

I am dead to her.

What's your name?

Paulina.

Is that your real name?

Yes. I am eager.

It's like water.

Doesn't do anything for me anymore.

It hurts.

We're not needed by the happy ones.

You're smart.

I'm lucky.

It's easier for the stupid ones.

Do you understand who I am?

I understand who I am.

Have you been here long?

Listen.

This isn't interesting.

I serve as bodies, not souls.

Drink up. It will get easier.

Do you have anyone who needs you? Not for money.

Seems like nobody's needed me since birth.

Leap already?

Where is he? Where is your daddy wandering?

Where?

Brunkard. Lying around somewhere.

The pretty boy will come crawling in. He should come and nanny his own kid.

I told him, my precious son, don't marry her.

She's in a crazy house and I have to nanny.

Was it always like this?

Light came through sometimes and I thought I was the happiest girl.

But then life would turn back into a nightmare.

Listen, Nina, you go on ahead.

I'll catch up.

Where?

Ice cream.

I'll get some ice cream.

Ice cream.

Don't lie. You're just going to go by booth.

Don't ruin the child's party.

What do you mean, cruise?

Everyone should have a party.

Grandpa and grandma want... They want to enjoy the birthday.

Polina, do you want the ice cream? Yes, I do. Here, you see, the kid wants ice

cream too.

I'm gonna go, quickly, I'll be quick.

All right, let's go home.

But mom, he promised.

I said let's go.

Let's wait.

I said let's go home. He's not gonna come. You're still little.

Let's have a drink, brother.

Have you even looked at the time? Listen, why has your hand come out to

us around, huh?

Just don't pay any attention. How long am I supposed to put up with your

drinking? This is my problem.

Put down the bottle.

No. I said put down the bottle. I'm not giving anything back.

Get out of here.

Hello. My daughter was scared badly.

I was told you could help.

Sure, I will help. Come here, kiddo.

Don't be scared.

I'm scared of you.

I'm going to tell my mom everything.

Paulina, I have great news for you.

This is Vasya. He will be your new dad.

We got married today.

I don't need a new dad.

Paulina, Weisse bought you a present.

You like it? I don't need your doll.

I love my dad.

I hate him to this day.

Back then, I just spent all of my time outside.

Can you believe that old cleaning lady chased me off with a broom?

So what?

Nothing. I just told her to throw up.

We could have hugged her. She's probably lonely.

Too bad mom is in the hospital.

We'll have to celebrate my birthday without her.

Who did you invite?

The guys?

It'll be about five people, plus you and me.

Listen, I think I'm going to go. Should I escort you?

No, I'm independent.

Hi, cutie. What do you want? Perhaps we should spend our evening together.

You don't mind, right? I do mind.

Back off.

Oh, don't be such a mama's girl.

They're already sleeping.

You shouldn't refuse guys like us.

Guys, come on. I have to go home. My parents are waiting.

They can wait.

It has

come.

I've cut them to pieces.

And that's when I stopped dreaming.

Prostitute, where have you been?

You

drove

your mom into the loony bin, and you want to get me into the same place. Have

you looked at the time?

Three o 'clock.

I haven't slept all night.

Maybe you want to go back to where you were.

Take a walk.

When your mother gets back, she'll hear about it.

Polina, open your eyes. I know you can hear me.

Why did you do this?

Live. You have to live.

I don't want to live.

I'm still gonna do it.

It was a miracle we got you out.

If you end up here again, you can only go to the psych ward after that.

If you survive, of course.

You want a pomegranate?

My parents brought them.

Where do you get them from?

They're out of season.

We have enough of everything at home, except for understanding.

We don't have one or the other.

Never mind that.

Some classmates came by and brought some new CDs.

It's some band from St. Petersburg.

Maybe you want to listen?

I liked it.

Sure, there's nothing else to do.

Death has walked past me a few times too I hold her by the throat,

but she keeps on threatening me She's taken so many of my friends

But she just can't handle me

It'd be nice to live life from a clean slate.

I had a chance.

But then we got married.

Did you love him?

At first I thought, yes.

But then I realized it's not all that simple.

Dad, when is mommy coming?

My head hurts.

Soon, my dear, soon.

Just sleep now.

Do you know what time it is?

Leave me alone.

I got held up.

Talking to my girlfriend.

We haven't seen each other in a while.

So you got this wasted with them?

We had a civilized time.

The kid has a fever.

French guy you had.

He put up with you?

He loved me a lot.

And I loved him.

Except it didn't get easier.

You like?

Who's the new guy?

You've got your eye already?

The lip isn't a fool, friend.

Who is he?

Good guy.

My friend met him at work.

He has two spots at the market.

You've got money, not married.

And oh, how he sings.

You're swooned.

Hey Serge,

play your best song for my best friend.

She especially loves guitar players.

The soul is asking for it, Serge.

I've been looking for you for a long time, in a faceless crowd.

I was so eager to know, at least a little bit about you.

I tried to imagine your profile, your laughter.

I probably knew, you're the most beautiful of all.

And so love came like a wind and caught us.

So don't waste the evening, I'm with you every hour.

Let the fire of love burn over the elements.

And although we are not holy with you, but this is certainly heaven.

Heaven is with you.

I'll carry your feelings through life.

I'll dedicate those beautiful songs to you.

I'll protect you from suffering and evil.

After all, it's not for nothing that love has called us for itself.

And so love came like a wind and caught us.

So there won't be a waste of an evening with you like every hour.

Let the elements of love burn the fire of love.

And although we are not holy to you, but this is definitely heaven.

There is heaven next to you.

Where is she?

Why did you drag her here so late?

Go home.

I will come back when I need to. I told you, go home.

You are nobody to me.

Understand? I'm not going to live with you.

Take the child home, idiot.

Go home.

Slowly,

things started working out. A man I loved, a good job.

But I wanted more.

I wanted to be rich and independent.

Hello, darling.

Hi.

Careful. You're driving an established businesswoman.

Have you been assigned the chief accountant?

I started a business today.

It sounds beautiful, but what is the business? It's a new, modern business.

Here's the scheme.

You join the system.

No, first you buy a package, then you join the system.

Then you gain network, and the interest gives back in. The more expensive the

package, the more interest you get.

So what do you think? Which one did I buy?

Platinum, the most expensive one. What do you mean you bought a package?

Where did you get the money?

There were people there, and they lent me money with interest and under a

contract. But they promised that they'd wait for me to get things going.

And how much money did you borrow?

Thirty thousand.

Thirty thousand?

How do you plan to return it?

Don't worry.

Everything will work out fine.

It's a sound business.

It works out for them. Why can't it work for me?

Why are you drinking alone?

Should have at least waited for me.

I have a reason for it.

I need a normal job.

Mom sold everything. I'm ashamed to look her in the eyes.

Don't wallow.

We'll break through.

Why do people subscribe and buy from everyone else? But not me.

They just come, listen, eat, listen again and leave.

Nobody, nobody subscribes.

What's wrong with me?

What a loser.

For me, it's even worse.

The tax people chewed me out.

Passed over my documents They filled two stalls Just

like that This

is all I have left There's nothing else

Take

at least this

We'll figure out something later.

Ah, so you fell for the scam.

If I knew where I was going to fall, I'd have laid something down. Fool.

Where are we rushing off to?

Hello.

Did you forget what date it is today?

No, I remember.

I just don't have anything.

Watch out.

Or your daughter won't return from kindergarten

one day.

Or you won't return.

And leave your daughter an orphan.

That won't be good.

Where did you get that from?

Think.

I'll give it all back. Just please, give me time.

Fine. I give you one week.

One week.

Paulina?

Hi, I'm not mistaken.

Vera?

Is that you? I didn't recognize you. How are you?

Things are great with me. How about you?

It doesn't matter.

A lot of problem.

Listen, come over to my place.

We'll sit, talk. You can tell me everything.

Ah, friend.

You got in bad.

They're not going to mess around with you.

And they'll mess up your kid.

Listen, you're wealthy.

Lend me the money.

I will give it back, honestly.

Lowly, but I'll give it back.

Well, I don't have anything to lend to you.

But I can help you.

I have a good job for you.

Bring them money, table.

Really?

I'm leaving for the city in three days.

Will you come work for me?

What would I need to do?

Escort services.

Have you heard of it?

Prostitution?

Oh, don't start there.

What about giving people happiness and pleasure?

Ew, that's filthy.

No, I can't do that.

You can.

The first couple of times might feel gross, but then it'll be normal. You'll

used to it.

Humans will get used to anything.

Work half a year, pay off your debt, and then we'll see.

Maybe you'll stay.

No.

I'm gonna go.

Well, it's up to you. I'm here for three more days.

If you change your mind, call.

What are you thinking of doing now?

Pay off the debt.

Yours?

Mm -hmm.

Will you play?

The coin rolled on the floor.

Lost in the world, a sick soul.

The coin rolled, no one will find.

Without happiness and light, life will soon go away.

Heads or tails, to breathe in time.

Heads or tails, waiting for life or death.

Heads or tails.

What is waiting for the final?

Who in the hands of fortune gave his life to the war?

Fear, pain and torment are her short path.

In one only salvation is to forget, to fall asleep.

There is no forgiveness in the soul, cruelty and evil.

He lived an adventure, consider it lucky.

Orel ili reshka, vdakhnut by uspet. Orel ili reshka, zhdez zhizn ili

smert. Orel ili reshka, kakoy zhdez final.

Kto v ruqi fortuny moju zhizn oddal.

Orel ili reshka, vdakhnut by uspet. Orel ili reshka, zhdez zhizn ili

smert. Orel ili reshka, kakoy zhdez final.

My fortune and fortune gave us life.

Be mine.

That's why I came here.

I just need to shower.

I'm not talking about that.

My fate is broken.

Your fate is breaking.

Let's start it all over. Together.

From a clean slate.

It will work out for us. I can feel it.

You know, a white dress, like you all like.

Or, if you want, we can just live like this.

Well, you can joke.

I could protect you.

Listen, I'm sorry, but I can't.

I mean, thank you, but I need time.

Time to think about it.

Go. You'll get your money.

You did what I needed.

Go.

I'll find you.

It's a gang, it's death

God,

if you exist, have mercy on me

Guys, I don't want to be patient.

You decide how you want.

The issue needs to be solved radically.

Sanya, we need to get out of here. We need to get out of here. We need to get

out of here.

We need to get out of

here.

Hey, hobo. Hi.

Take off the skins.

Fresh meat.

Stop.

You wanna live?

Dummy.

I'm asking you.

You wanna live?

Your life is in my hands.

I'll do whatever I want with you.

Why are you so quiet?

Head, you live.

Tails, you die.

Come here.

So, how did you end up here?

I got into debt.

And my business burned out. It started threatening my daughter.

I didn't want her to die because of me.

I got offered a job.

Oh, here I am.

You think it's easy for me?

You think it's easy?

Life is a mean thing.

Today I kill someone.

Tomorrow someone kills me.

Go wash up.

Quickly.

Follow me.

You! Come!

You scared, huh?

Get out of here.

I don't know what's gonna go down here. You're kidding.

Get out before I change my mind. Don't worry. I won't shoot you in the back.

Please, save my friend.

Light -haired, came with me.

Vyta, please.

You're kidding.

Crazy.

Die, animal.

I said die.

I said die, cop.

Die.

I said die, cop.

You cop.

Die.

Who is she to you? Just a friend. We're renting an apartment together.

How long has she been like this?

She never gets sober.

A little more, and she'd have given out.

Strong alcohol poisoning. We need to get her into intensive care immediately.

Clean her system.

Don't. Just help her.

We'll pay you.

Write the waiver.

I can't leave her in this state.

Prepare the IV drip.

Hey!

Hey! Wake up!

So, you got scared for me yesterday.

A hundred for each of you for not leaving me.

Then again, what would you do without me?

We're working today.

Vera. Fool.

You scared me.

What do you want?

I need to go home.

To drop off the money.

I won't let you.

You're my best.

No complaints about you.

Nobody hits you.

Girls are walking around blue.

Dummies.

But you are safe somehow.

Listen, what do you do that nobody

beats you?

Same as everyone.

Nothing special.

So what about the days off?

I have interest, you know.

How long do you need?

I can get it done in six, seven days.

If you want, I'll stop by your son, pass something on.

No.

I'll do it myself.

You have a week.

Then back to work.

Better watch it.

No tricks.

Give me my passport and money for the last job.

Go.

I'll bring it.

Who is it?

Annie, it's me, Mommy.

My mom is on a business trip.

Honey, it's me. I came to see you. Open up.

Grandma, Mom is here.

There's so much food here.

Where did you get that much money?

It's enough for a month.

I earned it.

Where's stepdad?

He's had such problems with his head.

He was hiding it.

We had to send him to the hospital to recover.

Where is Sergei?

Oh, Sergei.

Sergei hasn't been home for a few days now.

And I'm glad.

When you left, he started drinking every day.

He was good with Anna.

He'd bring her food.

But he's drunk.

It'd be better if he went to his own mother and drank there.

I don't want to look at this grief.

I have enough of my own.

Did they call about the money? They called, yes.

I told them you went to make money in the city.

Are you staying long?

No, I still have work to do. I'm here for a week.

Oh, she's back.

Looks like you're back, too.

I waited for you.

Doesn't look like it.

You don't sleep at home.

You have changed.

How are things with your job?

What do you do?

What? You don't know what accountants do?

Are you back for good?

No.

I got a week off.

So, let's go together.

I'll find a job.

We'll pay off the debt faster together.

We don't need people like you.

There's plenty of drunkards already.

Do you think that I am nothing?

I have to face reality.

What happened to you?

What happened to me?

How about what happened to you?

When I left, I thought I was leaving behind a normal man.

That my kid would be protected.

I come back and what do I see?

You're always out drunk somewhere.

My mother is crying.

The fridge is empty.

Thank you for taking care of that.

I think we're done here.

Close the door.

I'm so happy to see you.

It's gotten lonely here.

It's been tough ever since Volvo went to prison.

Come on in.

Oh no, I'm just here for a couple minutes.

I'm just on my way to pick up Anya. Here, this is for you and the kids.

No kidding.

Where did you get so much?

That's how I get paid.

Yeah, I see you've settled well.

Got yourself a wealthy man?

Nansen, I haven't got anything.

Get me a job with you.

Do you love your kids?

What do kids have to do with a job?

It's got to do with it.

Any wrong move and guys with guns might show up. You want to leave your kids as

orphans?

But you're alive.

Like it's nothing.

Don't compare me and you.

If my meter wasn't running, I wouldn't stay there for a day.

Are you serious?

I'm already kind of scared.

Whatever. I'm gonna go.

No ring.

That new rat took it. Are you sure?

Who else? Everyone else has their own.

Was it you? You stole my ring.

Psycho, I'll kill you.

Stop. Stop, dumb animals.

What have you started here?

Well, who am I supposed to sell you to with your scratched up faces?

A fine for each of you for face shots.

And you, watch after your thing.

They'll kick us out of the apartment because of you dummies.

I won't forget this.

Messed up my nose too?

Drink. Don't be shy.

Did your wife call?

How did you get?

You ran away too quickly.

Are you a psychologist or something?

No.

I used to do that too.

Ah. Put horns on your husband.

Couldn't help it.

What is it that you women still need?

Everything is for you.

Depends.

Some need love.

Some need money.

What do you think?

Why am I sitting here with you?

I don't need to think.

I'm working.

I'll tell you anyway.

It burns through all my nerves.

Anything happens, and it's a scandal.

I give her Paris and the canneries,

but she...

Still says, hug to me, I am bored.

I am sick of her.

Listen, do you have children?

A boy and a girl.

That's it.

Take care of the kid.

Are you crazy or something?

No, I feel sorry for the kid.

Whatever.

One more each and off to the room.

a lovely evening.

a dirty being.

I'm nothing.

Nobody needs me.

Nobody.

I don't know what to do.

I want to die I don't even know if I'll be alive

tomorrow I don't have a choice

I don't want to live

God

Why is this happening to me?

You have to

Pay the debt.

You hear me?

You will work.

You alive?

Yeah.

You're a lucky one. Want a drink?

No.

Drunken animal. Did you get plastered again?

Show me. Did you get beat? They beat you again?

Filthy schmuck. Who am I going to sell you to? Who needs you? You're not

a penny out of me.

You'll die under my fence, useless rag.

Animal.

I don't want to live.

I don't want to live.

What gift did you prepare for me?

Wait.

Look over there.

Oh, is this for me?

I don't care.

I need the money.

No. I'm tired of waiting.

Feel sorry? Let him feel sorry for his wife and daughter.

Then make him understand.

One week.

One week.

I've said everything.

How much money do you have left to repay the debt?

This is the last part.

So maybe you don't have to leave anywhere?

I haven't decided.

It's complicated there.

How's Sergei?

What about Sergei? He's an independent person.

He's waiting for you.

He came by yesterday.

He's over.

When he heard you were coming, he practically came to life.

Like to get?

Go look.

My God, what do I do?

I can't live like this anymore.

I'm scared.

Help me.

Anna, don't. Let Mommy rest.

We'll live together.

We'll pay the debt off together.

I found a good job.

We'll get out of this.

Why?

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

You wouldn't have listened to me earlier.

We got a free cafe that just opened up here.

They feed you there, sing pretty songs.

I felt kind of bored.

I thought I'd go check it out.

And I came in. All sorts of people were sitting around.

So I got to know them.

They started helping me.

Sometimes they'd bring clothes for the kids or food.

What did you have to do in return?

Nothing.

They're friends with me.

Wow. Are you naive or something? You know you have to pay for everything in

life.

Where have you brought me?

Don't worry.

They don't bite.

They've become different.

And you think this is a pretty song.

Quiet. Listen to the words.

We are nothing without love,

the only answer.

There would be a fatal threshold of death,

but love shines

bright.

And we know that love is God.

Lonely and desolate.

Where love has not found a shelter.

A man cannot be.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And we know that...

love the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, so that

anyone who believed in Him would not perish but have eternal life.

For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but so that

world would be saved for Him.

That's scary.

Awful.

How did you live through this?

That's not all.

Don't count me insane.

I've never told anyone about this.

From childhood, after my mom took me to the mystic.

At night I was followed by a terrible black demon.

But after I visited here, I slept peacefully for the first time.

It's amazing how God protected you.

Have you ever thought about that?

Sometimes I asked him for help when I really couldn't handle it.

Things turned out well, Van.

Everyone said I was lucky.

It's not about luck.

God saved us out of love.

But there's nothing to love me for.

I'm filthy.

None of us have anything to be loved for.

We're all guilty before him.

Each in their own measure.

But there are good people who haven't lived like me.

Even the best people have their flaws, and the worst ones have something good.

Not one good person can pay for their own sin, but Christ paid for us all.

But Christ died.

If Christ stayed dead,

Neither you nor I would be alive.

Mom?

Yes? Let me introduce you.

But I already know him.

Let me introduce you to your son -in -law, Sergei.

We got married.

Really?

Oh, what joy!

This is cause for celebration.

Let's go have tea.

You're married!

Well done.

I'm listening.

Hello.

Where did you get stuck?

Clients are waiting.

I quit voluntarily.

What?

You better be here tomorrow.

Don't text me, do you hear me?

I will rip your head off, whore. Stupid girl.

I'm not coming back. Do you hear me? I will tear you apart.

Was it from work?

We'll move you and they won't find you.

Lady, you lost something.

Is that you?

Paulina?

No way.

What brings you here?

I remembered that you live in this city. I wanted to stop by.

I'm happy to see you. You on vacation?

Forever.

Got sick of it all.

How are you?

Good. I birthed a second daughter, have a husband.

How about you?

I am a free woman now.

After that time you ran away, the toad went completely mad.

She decided to send a gang after you, but then kind of shut down.

Boo.

Drank her brains out.

Nobody wanted to work with her.

She held money back, tricked the client.

Remember the new girl whose nose I messed up?

Disappeared. The toad gave her up to a gang.

And Sveta, your friend, kissed up to the toad somehow and she took her into her

company.

Now Sveta runs everything while the toad gets drunk.

I didn't think that things would turn out like this.

Yeah, she's worse than the toad now.

I'm not afraid of her, though. I don't care at all.

You know what I did?

I robbed their till. I'll have enough for the rest of my life.

What?

They'll kill you.

So what?

I don't want to live like that. I've had it up to here with all this shit

sitting around here.

Ella, it worked out for me.

You were always lucky.

Even a toad talked about it.

It has nothing to do with luck.

Only God saved us then with Sveta.

You remember?

It would have been better if she died then, Nate.

If God existed, you wouldn't have been there.

Each of us chose our own path without seeking counsel from God.

You know, I hate everyone.

But after I repented, my soul stopped tearing to pieces.

Suddenly, I understood that I could truly love.

Whatever, Mary Magdalene. It's never too late to repent. What if I still want to

think?

Don't joke like that.

Come over to my house.

We'll have tea, talk.

You can meet my husband.

Did you forget?

You don't introduce husbands to people like us. Come to my place instead.

Here's the address that I stopped at.

At 6 o 'clock.

But I won't be there after 11.

I'm self -employed now.

Watch out, or your daughter won't

return from kindergarten one day, or you won't

return,

and leave your daughter an orphan.

What is it that you women still need?

Everything is for you.

Deb has walked past me a few times, too. I hold her by the throat, but she

keeps on threatening me.

She's taken so many of my friends, but she just can't handle me.

It'd be nice to live life from a clean slate.

What about giving people happiness and pleasure?

I was an exchange coin.

I did not have a value, that anyone seeing it would want to pick me up off

ground.

I wanted to scream from pain.

My soul was tormented by sin, and I heard through tears,

useless, you're lost.

When I had no more strength, dead stood then near.

I gave out one moan, Lord, have mercy.

And my cry was heard in heaven.

Though I had no strength to hope, God found me and answered.

He forgave me, people.

Keeper gave.
